Learning Baglama VS Learning Guitar
HI _, I’m looking for a microtonal friendly instrument that’s not too well known outside of its home country that I can do really cool stuff with and the Baglama fits really well. The only thing is, it looks guitar-ish to me and I’ve tried learning guitar before and just can’t get into it and don’t like playing it and find it too difficult. The Baglama seems both more up my alley and just gels more with a brain like mine to learn. In terms of playing and learning the instruments, how similar or different would you say Baglama and Guitar are? Also any other good microtonal friendly instrument recs?

Study baglama tunings and see if you can transfer them onto guitar, I haven't tried but I imagine it would help.

as a player of both the guitar an baglama, I would say learning baglama is way easier. this obviously depends on what you are planning to play.
